In the next 10 years, the Finnish government is aiming to welcome an estimated 15,000 new foreign students annually," Ambassador of Finland Ritva Koukku-Ronde said in a statement.


Based on Finnish government programme 2019-2023, the country is aiming to get 30,000 skilled talents in Finland, 10,000 annually.

Finland also wants to attract the most potential tech talents in India and encourage them to explore working, studying and living opportunities in Finland, especially with strong background knowledge in STEM (Science, technology, engineering, mathematics).

The educational campaign is being delivered through a series of interactive and insightful virtual events and will take place from November 15-24.
